What’s New?
Hardware Updates
We’ve updated the rear panel to simplify the number and function of
output connectors. Instead of having one set for the 16-channel model
and another set the for the 8-channel model, we now have one set of
output BNCs for both. However, input connectors 9 through 16 are still
non-functional on the 8-channel model.
We have removed the unused Proc and Ref I/P connectors, as well.
Software Updates
We have also improved the switching functionality and improved the
channel switching response time.

CHAPTER 1
Using the Touch-It Digital
Introduction
Overview
Congratulations on your selection of a Touch-it Digital (TID) video
touchscreen monitor and switcher/router system. All Touch-it Series
products offer a simple and easy way to monitor digital SDI or HD-SDI
multi-channel video, provide routing, and external screen output in a
compact, versatile space-saving 3RU. They also feature dual high
resolution 7” LCD panels with up to eight or 16 channels of video.
Touching one of the “thumbnail” images on the Touchscreen (left
monitor) selects that channel for full size display on the Target (right
monitor) and sends the source signal to two output BNC connectors.
The TID is ideal for multi-camera live shoots, machine rooms, and
outdoor broadcasts. It is not intended for editing, transmission chain or
other applications where synchronized switching is required.

Installation Recommendations
Mounting
The unit is designed to install into a standard 19" rack, but may be placed
on a solid surface as well. The unit should be mounted at eye level for
best visual observation of the monitor screens and within easy reach for
convenient Touchscreen operation.
Heat Dissipation
The ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure should not
exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit). Adjacent devices can be rack
mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the unit if the above temperature
is NOT exceeded. Allow a 1RU (1.75”/44.45mm) space above and
below the unit for air circulation.
Important:
To maintain proper internal cooling, it is very important to ensure that
the cooling fans on the sides of the Touch-It Digital are not obstructed.
The left fan is an air intake and the right one is an exhaust fan. If two or
more Touch-It Digital units are installed next to each other, it is also
important to prevent heat exhaust from one being blown into the cool
air intake vent of an adjacent unit.
Power
The unit comes with a standard 24VDC/3.0A external power supply
that clips onto a back panel bracket and then connects an A/C mains
power source (100 to 240 VAC, 50/60Hz) to the connector provided on
the rear panel of the unit.
Using the TID
After touching the thumbnail on the Touchscreen, the selected channel
is also routed for output from the BNC connectors on the rear panel. The
characteristics of the selected input source is passed to the outputs
without alterations (i.e., the native format, aspect ratio, and other

characteristics are not changed). Embedded audio is also passed
through unchanged.
Note:
Audio pops from switching channels are the result of
asynchronous inputs with no master clock and are not an
indication of a problem with the TID.
Front Panel
The descriptions of each of the front panel features follows Figure 1–1
below.

Function Selection
Up and Down Adjustment
Touchscreen: Touching any of the thumbnails on the Touchscreen
selects that video source for display on the Target. When the
Touchscreen is disabled by turning the LCD backlight power off, the
last selected source remains routed to the BNC outputs on the rear
panel.
Note:
The Touchscreen is designed to be used with your finger
tip, not a sharp instrument.
Target: The Target is the primary monitor. To change the video
source, simply touch the thumbnail image of your choice from the
Touchscreen.

U s i n g th e T I D
Note:
On occasion, you may barely detect a slight flicker on the
Target. This is the result of periodic, internal self-testing
and has no effect on the selected SDI video output.
LCD Power: This switch toggles both of the video display backlights on
or off. An LED above the switch glows green to indicate backlight
power is on and another LED glows red to indicate backlight power is
off. This switch affects only LCD backlight operation; the unit continues
to be powered with all routing functions in full operation regardless of
this switch setting, as long as the unit is connected to an active mains
power.
Function Selection and Up and Down Adjustments: These buttons
control the adjustments for the Target brightness, contrast, color, tint
and aspect ratio (normal, full-screen, or shadowbox). Video controls are
set and retained for each of the configured inputs in non-volatile
memory.
Note:
The unit always selects source one when it powers up. All
changes to any source are saved after 10 seconds.
Adjusting LCD Display Parameters
Press the Function Selection button to cycle through each parameter
(LEDs glow amber for selected parameter). When desired parameter is
selected, use the + (up) and - (down) buttons to adjust the parameter as
required.
Note:
Aspect ratio selection is only available for SD inputs
(normal, full-screen, or shadowbox). HD inputs default to
16:9 aspect ratio. Once the signal reverts back to SD, the
aspect ratio becomes selectable.
Selecting the Thumbnail Quantity
To change the number of thumbnails displayed in the Touchscreen,
cycle the control parameters to the default state (no LEDs are lit), press
and hold the Function Selection button, and then press the + or button to cycle up or down through the selections. Note that a change
to the number of thumbnails does not change a previous source
selection.
The thumbnail channel numbers increase from left to right and from
top to bottom, as shown in Figure 1–2 below.

The thumbnail number is the same as the source ID number (i.e.,
Thumbnail 1 is from Source 1, and so on). The source ID for each
channel (Source 1, Source 2, and so on) is displayed in the associated
thumbnail display. The displayed source ID numbers can be toggled on
and off using the display controls. Moreover, you can customize the
text for these displays—they do not have to display the source ID
numbers. (Refer to Table 1–12: Source Cfg. Menu Option Descriptions
on page 22 for more information.)

Turning Thumbnail Source ID Display On/Off
When the aspect ratio (16:9) control is selected (lit LED), press and hold
the Function Selection button and then press the + button to toggle
the Touchscreen source ID displays on and off.
Setting Selected Thumbnail to Blink
To set the selected thumbnail border to blink, press and hold both the +
and - buttons together for a second and then release. Repeat to
discontinue the blinking. The advantages of setting the thumbnail
border to blink are:
• The blinking border attracts the eye, even when the video content
would make the selection difficult to see.
• You can see the selected thumbnail from a greater distance away
from the TID.

1 of 16
As you touch each rectangle, the counter will increase until you
have touched the last one. Once the calibration is complete the
system will display the following message for three seconds and
then return to its normal operational mode.
Calibration Complete!
Restoring Factory Defaults
To return a control setting to the original factory default, select the
desired parameter (LED lit), then press and hold the Function
Selection button while pressing the Up (+) button.
Rear Panel
The rear panel features 16 HD/SD-SDI inputs on BNC connectors. The
selected source is output from two BNC connectors. Embedded audio
for the selected channel is passed through the system unchanged.
The integrated RS232 connections provide full remote setup and control.
The descriptions of each of the rear panel features follows Figure 1–4
below.

Selected SDI Outputs: The selected source signal routed to the Target
is also output from these two connectors. Output signals are re-shaped
copies of the selected source signal. If there is embedded audio in the
selected source, it is passed-through unchanged to these outputs.
SDI Inputs: Eight or 16 separate channels of HD-SDI or SD-SDI video
signals are accepted at these BNC input connectors.
Note:
Both the 8-Channel and the 16-Channel models contain all of
these connectors. However, only 1 through 8 are active on
the 8-Channel model.

Using the Console
The Console is integrated into the TID firmware and is an important
component in the flexible operation of the TID. Many parameters may
only be set in the Console.
An overview of the Console menus follows. Note that some of the
menus (GPIO Settings, Source Setup, RS-422 Port, and the
Touch-It Menu) are accessed from more than one menu.
Console Port Setup
To set up and use the Console, follow the steps below:
1.
Connect a modem serial cable between the RS232 connector on the
TID and a standard computer running Microsoft Windows.
Note:
Do not use a null modem cable to connect the TID to the PC.
Instead, use a standard, 1-to-1 RS232 cable.
Note:
You can use any terminal emulator (VT50 or VT100),
however, we recommend using MTTTY.exe which you can
download from the web and provides the best compatibility
with the TID.
2.
Set the serial communications properties to match the settings in
the TID Console.
•
Baud rate: 115,200 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: none
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control (Handshake): off
You can override the factory defaults by setting them through the
TID Wohler Set Up Menu shown in the Example on the
following page.
3.

When the unit is powered up and if the serial port settings are
correct, a boot sequence will be displayed.

To start the Console, press Ctrl-C on the terminal keyboard. The
Wohler Set Up Menu should appear in the application
window.
Note:
Important:
The options in the menus are not case-sensitive.
You may press Ctrl + C a second time to abort (discard changes) and
exit the Console.
To save your settings, you must select (X) Exit & Save to save
changes and exit the application.
If you do not select a menu option within 60 seconds, the Console will
automatically terminate. Press Ctrl + C to start it again. Settings made
up until the timeout will be saved
Note:
Example
The time out interval (option T in the Wohler Set Up
Menu shown below) is currently fixed at 60 seconds and so
the Time Out selection in the menu is not operational.
Type the letter corresponding to the setting you want to change and
then press the Enter key. In the example below, we have selected

CHAPTER 2
Upgrading the
Touch-It Digital
Introduction
Overview
Tis procedure details how to establish Ethernet connectivity and then
how to upgrade the Touch-It Digital .
Note:
I M P O R T A NT :
It may prove useful to reprint this chapter every time you
need to upgrade your TID, since a couple of sections provide
space to record existing settings.
If you are not comfortable performing the upgrade yourself, or if you
do not have a PC/laptop with Internet access, contact Wohler
Customer support for shipping instructions and we’ll do it for you.
(Wohler’s contact information is on page ii of this document.)

• If both the PC and the TID are connected to a network, you will
need the following:
•
Two standard Ethernet cables—not crossover cables
•
NetBurner AutoUpdate V2.0 or later (AutoUpdate.exe)
(Included as part of the download package under
Downloading the Update Files on page 2)
• If either your PC or the TID are not connected to the network, you
will need the following:
•
One Ethernet cross-over cable
•
One Mttty terminal emulator that can be downloaded from
the Wohler web site or other download site on the web
Note:
The Mttty.exe terminal program is self-contained and runs
as is without hooking into windows on your computer.
Downloading the Update Files
1.
Power up the laptop and log on if needed.
2.
When the desktop is loaded, launch the web browser.
3.
Navigate to the wohler web site: www.wohler.com.

If multiple NetBurner modules appear in the Select a Unit box, be
sure to highlight the unit you are working with.
An IP address of 0.0.0.0 means the Netburner is using DHCP
addressing, and the network will give the module its address (as it has in
the example in Figure 1–17 above: 192.168.0.7. With these
procedures, you can also enter a fixed network address and mask if
desired. You can use any network address and mask approved by your
network administrator. For our example, we’ll be using the address
192.168.0.2 with the network mask of 255.255.255.0.

from the PC/laptop to the TID.
Connecting through a LAN
Note:
If you are connecting your PC/laptop to the TID through a
LAN, we assume the PC/laptop is already connected and
using a valid IP address.
Connect the TID to a router to the LAN (local-area network) with an
Ethernet cable.
Decision Point:
If your network administrator wants to assign a specific IP address to
the TID, follow the steps in Setting the IP Address of the TID on page
8.
Otherwise, if the IP address the DHCP assigned to the TID is adequate,
continue on to Upgrading the Netburner Software on page 11.

Note:
If the upgrade is successful, you should see “Touch-It Ver
2.00” (or whatever the latest version is) on the screen.
Otherwise, if the upgrade was not successful, you will see
“Errors were encountered in the download.” In this event,
type “reset” (not case-sensitive) press the Enter key, and
start over again from Step 5.
Uploading the Video Board Files
Next we need to update the two files to the video boards through an
FTP transfer. We do not use the serial port for uploading these files
because the file sizes are too large (resulting in an upload time of
several hours).
1.
Leave the RS232 port connected and Mttty running. Hold the Ctrl
key down and press the C key on the laptop to bring up the
Wohler Set Up Menu as shown in Figure 1–27 below.

Important:
You may need to consult with your local IT support person to assist
you with the next step if you are not familiar with finding and setting
IP addresses.
2.
To set an IP address on the TID, press the letter (capital) I key as
per the menu selection to bring up current default IP, most likely
0.0.0.0 on your unit. Ask your IT professional for a known IP
address for the laptop that is on the same subnet as the FTP server.
For example, if the laptop is on 192.168.1.xxx, then the TID needs
an available IP address on the same subnet address, 192.168.1.1 to
255.
3.
From here, type in your desired IP address and press the Enter key
to accept the new address. In the example below (Figure 1–28) we
have changed the unit from 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.48.

Entering the IP Address
Now that we have a known IP address, we can use a standard web
browser to upload the new file to the video boards. Connect your
